•

particularly careful since it may not just cause malfunctions, but it may also become irreparable.

– Places with a lot of sand or dust. – Places where water can come into contact with this unit, such as when using it on a rainy day

or at the beach.

Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or damage.
